Visual Object Detection & Classification​

The system detects objects that are within the cameras observed area. It classifies different object categories and shows the detection in the camera image and on the map. Further the object position is calculated, providing a GPS location with actual timestamp. In case the system detects a person, the marked area is pixeled to ensure data privacy.


ADSB and FLARM Detection

All aircrafts that are equipped with an activate ADSB or FLARM system are detected within the airport area​. The actual aircrafts position, its latest flight path and altitude are illustrated on the airfield map. The data is used to document take-offs and landings.

Aerodrome Operations Report

The data collected by the system over the past 12 months is used to generate regular operational reports. For all aircrafts registered at the airport, the flight time is recorded with UTC times. In addition, all other external aircraft that have landed at the airfield are documented with the registered number plate and the assigned date and UTC time. This function supports the airfield operations monitoring around the clock. In addition, the report completes the local airfield activities taking into account visually recognized and classified objects.

24/7 Operation

The system operates 24/7 and its operation mode is changed automatically considering current geo referenced civil twilight. The operation mode can be changed from "Normal Operation" (airfield is in normal operation), to "Airfield Closed" (in example after civil twilight to surveil the airport in protected mode) up to "System Off" (turing the system off).
The system architecture is a mix of cloud based and local computing processes. This allows the operator in charge to access the system information via computer or mobile devices. The system operates at all weather conditions.

Airfield Dashcam

Similar to a classic dashcam, the system records high-resolution individual images for the last 24 hours. These images are dated with timestamp information, encrypted and can be called up with our help in urgent situations. This can help to clarify safety-critical situations. The recording function of single images can be stopped by the responsible operator in an emergency.

Connectivity

The system provides in real-time messages to the mobile phone of the aerodrome responsible. Information about approaching and departing aircrafts are provided, as well as take-offs and landings are documented. 
The aerodrome is configured with georeferenced alarm zones that are used for the iwiAI warning and alarm logic.
In example detecting a person on the runway in combination with the ADSB/FLARM information of a landing aircraft triggers an alarm. Protected areas will trigger as well alarms when persons or vehicles are entering those.
In case the airfield is closed, being in "Surveillance Mode", any aircraft movement / landing or departure will be reported as an alarm. This shall avoid any illeagal aircraft operation when the airfield is closed.

Airfield Warning Zone

In case the system detects visually a vehicle on the runway, a FLARM warning zone is generated.
This information can be received by avionic systems and shown to the pilot of an approaching aircraft.
Together with Flarm, Air Avionics and Funke Avionics this feature is in development and updates will be published soon.
